Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

I’m happy to help if anyone needs help with docker and/or Linux stuff. (I’ll probably try to convert you to Linux, the os to rule them all. You’ve been warned)
For op, that setup is likely overkill, most stuff will use more ram than cpu and very few self hosted apps will use the GPU at all (Plex and jellyfin are the only ones that come to mind). Only hurt to it being overkill is a higher power usage than a smaller setup, but if you already have it running full time then it’s unlikely to make a different

I’m already running Linux/TrueNAS so that’s okay.
Yeah I’m hoping if someone can walk me through a couple of services I can learn from that and just apply it to other products.
Hoping to host some public servers/websites that hopefully others can use. Also I’m not sure I could sell this thing and buy something else and do better for the same money. I should monitor the consumption though…

In terms of electricity consumption, it’s still not going to be huge, just was noted in case you wanted to go smaller. You can almost certainly go smaller, but at the same time if you already have the hardware it’s not going to be useful to sell it second hand and buy new hardware that has less performance.
Hosting static websites at home is fine if you really want to, but for anything dynamic and/or that will have a lot of users, get a vps (basically a server that you pay for storage and compute resources on and can use remotely how you like, including hosting stuff like mastodon and lemmy instances)

I have zero interest in having someone else host my services but thank you.
